[QUOTE="Ascending, post: 762480, member: 29778"] Thank you for reply and welcome! And sharing some been there done that experience. Which sounds like it has some significant overlaps with mine. I’ll watch for your continuing story. Is your son also adopted? Maybe it’s on your signature but I have not seen that yet on my cellphone. I did not mean no drugs for my son’s own self - as he has pointed out, it is [I]his[/I] [I]body[/I] and [I]his life.[/I] Which I agree with and believe only he can be the driving force behind change if he chooses to. I meant none if I am having physical contact or certainly if he wants to live here again. Though currently I feel nauseous even contemplating him living here again. I have to think that through clearly though. Definitely no hallucinogenic ones. A strong 20 yo male on apparently a “bad trip” punching out and karate kicking imaginary foes, or worse, is frightening and dangerous. Worse if he thinks I am the enemy. But we are in a weed legal state, and nearly everyone he knows uses that and some of his friends families are growers. And it even may be less dangerous than, say, sugar perhaps. Definitely I need to think my way through specifics and details. He tends to be what seems very low motivated but sweeter tempered on weed. Vaping whether THC or nicotine is I guess another consideration. It not done indoors.perhaps it really doesn’t affect me all that much. Yes. I am willing to let him be homeless if need be. He sometimes couch surfs with friends and is probably doing that now. It is my impression he became unwelcome in two couch surf homes. One I know for sure was because he hit someone there, either his former best friend or his former best friend’s girlfriend. So seems even when on probably better behavior with others than me he has still been violent. Then too he was under the influence - i think of alcohol in that case, and the mom of that family smelled strongly of alcohol. I got a couple of suggestions for getting unaddicted that worked for someone I know, though requires self motivation which my son doesn’t have for that. If you are interested I can find them and share. [/QUOTE]
